and Gerry & Sue’s Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge.

‘teach’, ‘ahead’ and ‘simplicity’. Here’s my little story.
Doris sat in the kitchen proofreading her letter.
Dear Ryan Seacrest –
Imagine my surprise when I tuned into “Wheel of Fortune” and discovered youβre the new host!
Where the fuck is Pat Sajak? He could teach you a few things about show business! You have a nice smile and might have a future ahead in commercials.
Youβre a cutie-pie; I wouldnβt mind a roll in the hay with you, thatβs for damn sure. Next time you’re in Wichita, stop by Dorisβ Donuts β simplicity at its tastiest!
Iβll keep the light on.
Fondly, Doris Lipsmacker

The challenge is to write a poem or a piece of prose
in exactly 85 words using the word “vertigo”. Hereβs mine.
What is this sudden disequilibrium?
I feel like I could fall flat on my bum!
Tummyβs flipping and Iβm gonna be sick
Somebody get me some Pepto quick!
Ears are ringing, Iβve got a headache
Doctor, please! I need a break!
First a fever and now the chills
Pass me some of those magic pills!
My heart is racing like an SST
Give it to me straight, Doc. What’s wrong with me?
Whatβs that you say? Itβs love vertigo?
Thereβs no cure? Well, whaddya know!

Think about all the calculations involved in bridge building β not the least of which is the maximum weight a bridge can hold at any given time. Iβm not a mathematician or an engineer but itβs obvious the answer isnβt one you can get wrong … ever. No guessing allowed! One small miscalculation could spell disaster. Imagine tossing and turning in bed after handing in your numbers to the bridge committee, wondering if the decimal point was in the right place.
